New York City police are investigating an online posting that a convicted felon claims to have shot and robbed slain rapper Tupac Shakur.

The report was posted on the website AllHipHop.com and purports to be from a convicted felon named Dexter Isaac. In the post, Isaac claims he was paid by another hip hop mogul to rob Shakur outside a studio in Manhattan in 1994. Shakur suffered gunshot wounds but eventually recovered. He was later killed in 1996 in an unsolved slaying.
